Where XAI lives: supply by blockchain
Supply is concentrated: Ethereum holds 100% of all XAI. Moving it to another chain means bridging, or a mint and redeem through the issuer.
How XAI is backed
XAI is minted against crypto collateral locked in smart contracts, usually worth more than the stablecoins issued, with liquidations or hedges protecting the peg.
Minting and redemption: Using the Silo Finance app, users can borrow XAI by depositing ETH or USDC as collateral. When the loan is repaid to retrieve the collateral, the paid back XAI is burned.
XAI risks
A sharp crash in the crypto collateral can outrun liquidations and leave the system under-backed.
Bugs, governance attacks or bad price feeds can drain collateral or trigger wrongful liquidations.
With $4.9M in circulation, exiting a large position may move the price. Redemption may be limited to approved customers.
Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
